I have break the rule and buy one leopard hobby brushless motor (4074 1400Kv in my 6S buggy).
It works perfectly, but the quality does not come even close to the Castle motors : the wires are in fact the windings, the can does not have cooling fins, which make it heat more than the Castle, the rotor looks very messy with its strange kevlar...
But with an additionnal heatsink, it runs as cool as my Castle motors, and the efficiency is the same, moreover the bearing are as big as Castle one's, so for the price, it's a good choice if you want a small Kv motor with high voltage setup. I will try some tuning, like put Castle rotor in and see what happen...
I just wait that Castle build its 1515 1.5Y 1466Kv motor to replace it !
